I wonder why Ruby users don’t flock to Crystal, and Python users to Julia. With all the whining about performance and types, they just stay put.
Some devs talk about types as if they're the One True Holy Silver Bullet, but that is far from an objective truth. There are no silver bullets in dev, only sweet spots.

What's the state of crystal's concurrency ? I think i've read something on HN saying it wasn't quite there yet..
You mean parallelism? Concurrency has been there for years. Parallelism was available under a flag a few months ago. I do t know the current status since I don’t need it.
When you say you don't need it, don't you use crystal for developing backend APIs ?

Did you have a look at nim?
Maybe I should try it. It seems to be mentioned a lot here. Any recommended book?
